Hemlock trees are very ancient tree species, which can be traced back to the Ice Age. Together with Metasequoia and Ginkgo, it is called the "living fossil" of the plant world.

Niu Jiangang's unintentional words made Chen Jing guess in his heart.

This is the nature reserve of Maoer Mountain. After entering modern times, the plants inside are protected. Before modern times, without the help of technology, it was extremely troublesome to cut down trees in such a remote mountain.

Therefore, the hemlock forest on the west side of the lake may not have been cut down for thousands of years.

In this case, is it possible that the logo left by the Wei royal family back then could be in that hemlock forest?

Thinking of this, Chen Jing couldn't help but get excited and didn't bother to eat, saying, "I'll go and see those hemlock trees."

Niu Jiangang didn't think much about it, just said, "Go and go after you're full, those hemlock trees won't run away."

Chen Jingying said: "It's okay, I'm not very hungry yet. Uncle Niu, please eat more."

The lake was not big, and Chen Jing quickly walked around the lake to the hemlock forest to the west, but as soon as he walked in, he observed the hemlock trees and frowned slightly.

My thoughts just now were a bit naive.

The trees of these hemlock trees do look very old and exudes an ancient and vicissitudes of life, but the demise of the Wei Kingdom has been more than two thousand years ago.

No matter how long a hemlock tree lives, it will not live for more than two thousand years.

"Did you guess wrong?" Chen Jing reached out and touched the trunk of a hemlock tree beside him, always feeling that he had overlooked some key point.

But he could never imagine what he had ignored.

"Maybe, you can try to use your mysterious intuition here tomorrow." Chen Jing thought to himself.

This is a risky idea, because when he came here just now, he had already observed the environment around the lake, and there was nothing strange about it.

If there is nothing wrong with this hemlock forest, then tomorrow's mysterious intuition will be a bit wasteful. After all, it is best to use mysterious intuition in places that have not been searched for.

Just as Chen Jing was thinking about it, Niu Jiangang's shout came: "Boy Chen, have you not finished reading it yet? If you don't come back, I'll finish the food."

Chen Jing responded immediately when he heard the sound, and walked back to Niu Jiangang's side, he also made a decision in his heart. To try tomorrow's mysterious intuition here, he still felt that this hemlock forest was unusual.

Bang~

Just thinking about things, Chen Jing was not very focused when walking. As he walked, he kicked a fallen dead tree trunk, also called a fallen tree, but fortunately he didn't fall.

Chen Jing subconsciously glanced at this inverted tree. It was probably a while since some grass plants growing on the ground spread to the wood.

Then, Chen Jing raised his foot and prepared to step over the fallen tree, but the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes wide and his feet were suspended in the air.

"Bound wood..." He suddenly remembered something.

That was when Chen Jing was still young. Once, he went up the mountain with his parents to pick mountain goods. The family of three was resting in the woods. He was in the stage of curiosity about everything and asked his parents a question.

"Mom and Dad, will the big tree die?"

"Of course, big trees will grow old, and they will die when they grow old."

"Since the big tree will die, why are the woods still there?"

"Because some people can plant trees, and big trees will grow on their own. Do you see those fallen trees? They will give birth to new saplings, just like your mother gave birth to you, so the woods are always there."

"That's it, dad, you know a lot."

"This is also what your grandfather told his father. Our family lives in the mountains and we don't understand the rest, but we still know the mountains, forests and trees."

Chen Jing suddenly came back to his senses from his memory, and his handsome face was full of excitement and expectation!

At this moment, Chen Jing found the point he ignored!

These hemlock trees are indeed impossible to survive from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, but! This hemlock forest has probably not been cut down manually, so they have been here since ancient times!

The answer that Lao Chen gave to Chen Jing back then was indeed correct.

In oceanography, there is a saying that a whale falls and all things live, but they are still alive even if they die.

In botany, there is actually a "whale falling", which is a fallen wood. As the name suggests, this fallen wood means that once a strong wind encounters a strong wind, some dead woods that have naturally died cannot withstand the wind and fall to the ground. It is also called "wind fallen wood".

In the forests of nature, more than 80% of the seedlings of trees are bred from overturned trees, so overturned trees are also called forest hotbeds.

The sapling itself is also a habitat for microorganisms. The large amount of nutrients required by the saplings during their growth are provided by the decomposition of these microorganisms.

In this way, the fallen wood is great for the forest. Even if its leaves fall off, branches wither and torso rot, it is not dead or abandoned. It just changes its position and opens its arms like a mother. It is another posture of a tree to the forest.

"For more than two thousand years, the hemlock trees here fell down and grew again. Even if the distribution changes, because the hemlock trees themselves have a long lifespan, this change should not be too great."

"So, what the people who planted these hemlock trees wanted to show might be roughly recognizable!"

"And for me, as long as I can roughly identify it, it's enough!"

In an instant, the thoughts in Chen Jing's mind became extremely clear, faintly connected into a line, and the line pointed to... it was Xuan Li's hiding place!

He took a few deep breaths, calming his emotions that were so excited that he calmed down.

The same thing is said, the more you need to be calm at this time.

Then, Chen Jing quickly ran out of the hemlock forest, then turned around and looked at the hemlock forest, found the tallest hemlock tree, and then ran in again.

"Boy Chen, what are you doing?" Niu Jiangang asked loudly in confusion when he saw this.

Chen Jing didn't even bother to respond at this moment. He ran straight to the tallest hemlock tree and started climbing the tree with both hands and feet.

As a child who grew up in the mountains, his tree climbing skills are still full.

After a while, Chen Jing successfully climbed to the top of the tree. He carefully hugged the tree trunk, closed his eyes slightly, and opened his eyes and looked at the entire hemlock forest with endless expectations.

Because he is on the tallest hemlock tree, the scene of this hemlock forest is fully visible to Chen Jing.

The arrangement and distribution of trees are very chaotic, not as Chen Jing thought, with some pattern, or simply forming some pattern.

His guess just now was that this hemlock forest was the backhand left by the royal family of the Wei Kingdom back then. If you look at the entire forest from a high place, the pattern formed was the logo representing the place where Xuan Li hid!

But what I see now is completely different from Chen Jing's guess.

"This..." Chen Jing frowned: "It's because it's too long, and the original distribution of trees has been completely different, which makes the signs unrecognizable?"

"Or, is my guess wrong?"

When Chen Jing was wondering, Niu Jiangang's shout came from the other side of the lake.

"Boy Chen, why are you doing so high? Get down quickly, it would be amazing if you fall down."
